He's a massive name. If he loses surely he would remain a decent draw to bolster any card.

The last PPV he headlined did 150,000 buys. He's popular among MMA fans, but that doesn't necessarily translate to being a 'draw'. His last two fights have been seriously dull as well; and MMA fans have short memories.

Reason: thought it could have been misconstrued

Dana won't want him going to Bellator
He might not be the biggest draw but still a name worth having on your card. Especially with the increased number of cards they are having nowadays. Still a lot of fights for Hendo they could main event a Free FOX show or co-mainevent a PPV. Rematch with Shogun would attract attention after their last fight if nothing else.
Plus as he is getting older he'll be good to keep around as fighters that are up & coming would get a great career boost if they got a win over Hendo. Personaly I don't like this fact but it is a business & a great way to establish a new star is having him beat an established guy. Similar to when Schaub was getting pushed to the moon & got that win over Crocop & there was talk about him being close to a title shot, of course Nog screwed those plans up.

"I've never, ever said I was going to stop fighting," Henderson on Thursday told MMAjunkie.com ahead of his UFC Fight Night 32 main-event rematch against Vitor Belfort. "Win or lose, I'm still going to fight."

interesting

"I don't cut any weight at all for 205 – I walk around about 205, so 185 is not too tough to make at all," Henderson said. "It's just one of those things where if I don't have to cut I won't, but if the fans or the opportunities are better if I cut weight, then, I will."

He loses he becomes a gatekeeper for the ufc, he has been far too reliant on his h bomb in his last few fights and it hasn't landed, he needs to mix it up more. wrestling will be effective against belfort. It's a make or break fight for hendo.
